So I thought the LT1 had roller rockers already.
If I did heads/cam how would I tune it?
What gears would you run to still have it street friendly? Would like a 4.10 be overkill?
And the thought of an electric waterpump scares the hell out of me. What advantage will it get me?

4.10's are very street friendly in an M6 LT1, my favorite mod. You'll be turning ~1800 rpms in 6th gear at 70 mph.

Elect water pump would be a option.
4.10 gears is something that should have come stock with all LT1/M6s and LT4s.
Roller rockers came only with the LT4s
You can do a Hot Cam set up like above, or if you want a little bit more power, go with a bigger cam or heads.....and if your still not happy, you can always stroke.

I thought shorties on an lt1 is a waste of time?

I didn't install them, was on the car when I bought it. I want to do long tubes.
I'm pretty sure they did not come with 4.10's.
How would I tune for the cam?

For a cam-only LT1 tune give PCM4less an email or call.. they can nail perfect mail order tunes for such mild mods.
